Fun Facts
I’m interested in pretty much everything! Outside of school, you’ll catch me studying, reading, writing poetry, drawing, or latin dancing. I also love music, and have composed a few songs for the piano! I have five younger siblings, and love learning about new languages and cultures.
About Me
I am junior at Florida State University. I graduated high school in 2017 with the highest GPA in my class. I took a year off to work, eventually picking Florida State as my school of choice, and came into the school Fall of 2018 as a Sophomore (due to AP credits). I am a Spanish Major with a French minor. I am enrolled to get my TESOL certificate by the end of next Fall semester. My ultimate career goal is to teach English to speakers of foreign languages either abroad or here in the States.
Experience
I tutored French and flute throughout high school and volunteered as a member of the National Honor Society and of campus ministry. I worked at a Vacation Bible School and babysat throughout high school, while also being the oldest of six- I know a lot about kids! Over the summer I was a volunteer as an assistant in an English as a Second Language classroom with the International Rescue Committee’s Atlanta Location, where I taught refugees in a women's literacy class.
Approach
From a young age, I have loved teaching and learning in a wide range of subjects. I believe students benefit the most from positive reinforcement and encouragement, and intend to implement that ideology through goal-oriented learning. In other words, I want to work with students and parents by first finding and setting goals, and then by creating milestones to reach that goal on a specific timeline. I like to learn about a student as much as possible, and to find and use their learning style.
